Sheriff thinks Conn. tragedy a factor in Ala. school bomb plot

A judge has set bond at $75,000 for an Alabama teenager accused of planning to attack classmates and a teacher.

Seventeen-year-old Derek Shrout appeared in court Monday on a charge of attempted assault.

Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor says the teen was arrested after a teacher found a journal that appeared to describe the plot. He says the teen told investigators that he was a white supremacist and most of the alleged targets he named were black.
